Over 300 REVIT Jobs posted here

It's starting to look like a good REVIT user has got wings ! ....what I mean by that is if you get yourself trained up on REVIT, learn how to manage worksets, learn to be able to make families and perhaps start to get a handle on the BIM aspect you can pick your job and location around the world. With the introduction of REVIT Structure and MEP to compliment the Architecture it's starting to gain some serious steam. And if my better judgement is correct I would say...a shortage of experienced users is in the making. Steve Stafford has created another great blog specifically for posting REVIT jobs and as you will see from the links below, the world is the limit. There is really nothing like having the skill set that allows you to travel the world. It's a great feeling ! For those of you who haven't jumped on the REVIT wave. . . . . . what on earth are you waiting for !! Here are some REVIT job sites you should bookmark.

Thanks to for posting this CADclip on their site.

This is a tutorial that can be joyfully applied when you design your dream cottage from making so much money using REVIT !

In this tutorial we learn how to use the 'Roof By Extrusion' to instantly create the roof you see above.

You can further adjust the roof footprint by using the 'cut plan profile' tool.
Oh, I should mention . . I drew the rest of the house in under 5 minutes !

Roof with a Kicker

Thanks to for posting this CADclip on their site.
(click the link above to play or right click and "save target as..." to download the CADclip)
There are a couple ways to create the roof you see above. Both options explained below use two different roofs to accomplish the same task.

Option 1
You use two different roofs with different slopes. You create the lower roof by 'Footprint' then use a 'Cutoff Level' and 'Cutoff Offset' property to eliminating the top part of the roof. Then you create the upper roof by 'Foorprint', size it accordingly and align it vertically within the opening in the lower roof.

Option 2 (prefered method)
You also use two different roofs with different slopes. However for the lower roof we use a model 'Opening' to cut a hole in the roof. Then you create the upper roof by 'Footprint', size it accordingly and align it vertically within the opening in the lower roof. I find this my prefered method as it is simplier and easier to adjust. If you delete the 'Opening' the hole dissappears.

REVIT Diagonal Wall Reveals

Thanks to for posting this CADclip on their site..

REVIT provides a quick and easy way to create Vertical and Horizonatal Reveals and Sweeps but creating diagonal or 'non linear' sweeps and reveals is not so obvious.

Below is a link to a 10 min. CADclip explaining how to create a diagonal or 'non linear' wall reveal or sweep.
Once you go thru this lesson you can apply this method to create all kinds or 'irregular' reveals or sweeps.
